Thanks for reply :)

And it seems to work... When i type in
/opt/bin/python
import sys
sys.maxunicode

then i get the desired answer - 65535

But it seems the work only begins now, because i cant use other python
libraries now with this version of python and i probably have to
install them all again somehow...

But thanks for your help :)
